I ordered my Gauge Pod today. What gauges should I order? I know a Boost gauge obviously what other 2 are important in a Turbo'd car?

I like the Pro Sport Gauges but which is better Mech or Electric?

You want boost, and Wideband AFR, and EGT. You don't really have to get both EGT, and AFR, but if your going to be turnig up the boost atleast get the wideband.

I'd say oil pressure before EGT but that's just me.. I have both. I went with the NGK wideband so it's just a little digital numeric display.

Besides ProSport who else can I get that will match the Interior lights?

Mechanical Gauges over Elec? Which is better and easier to install?

for boost mechanical is easier to install.

for oil pressure.. don't even think about a mechanical, that's just asking for trouble.

EGT is always electric (it's a thermal probe you get drilled into and mounted in your exhaust manifold)

If you are getting a few gauges from prosport, get all the electric ones. the electric models to the "opening ceremony" gauge sweep, so if one of yours was a mechanical gauge and didn't do that it would look funny.

I ordered all Electrical Boost Gauge, Oil Pressure, AFR

Now if I can only figure out how to hook them all up not sure how they will wire up yet LOL

OK so I need to get my OIL PRESSURE gauge working. Who here has done that? I cannot find the right connection to go to the oil sending unit for the gauge. Anyone know what I can do?
